China expelled 29 members linked to power corruption from its top legislature and political advisory body over the past five years – and in one case a corrupt official was executed after trial.

A total of 22 deputies of the 10th National People’s Congress (NPC) and seven members of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) have been stripped of their membership as law makers and political consultants since 2003, for their link to bribes, abuse of power, and sex scandals.

In its latest issue, Caijing magazine ventures beyond the hype, examining how the government might streamline consumer safety regulation in the wake of Zheng’s death. Ace reporter Luo Changping (ÁΩóÊòåÂπ≥) opens, most revealingly of all perhaps, by counting down the waning moments in Zheng’s life. The lede, apparently an exclusive account, tries to lay to rest at least a couple questions: How was Zheng executed? And what were his real “last words”? A translation follows:

North of the capital in the vicinity of Xiaotangshan, Qincheng Prison lurks discreetly amongst the piled peaks at the eastern foot of the Yanshan Mountains.

Gao Chun, a 41-year-old man from Hunan, gained his fame along with Mr. Zheng Xiaoyu’s fall. He was featured by mainland media as a hero who dared to challenge the corrupt system of Chinese government’s drug supervision and approval, despite his powerless status as a drug company pharmacist. People started to notice his story soon after Mr. Zheng was openly put under investigation.

For over a decade, Mr. Gao has kept reporting to authorities in Beijing, including Zheng Xiaoyu and his agency, about frauds he found with his company’s operation when seeking approval for new drugs back in the mid-1990s. [Full text]

…… killing one corrupt official is not the solution; Zheng was a symptom of a grievously flawed system, and not the cause.


In the United States, the authorities finally cracked down on the robber barons because the public would no longer abide them. In China, even with far stricter political control, the public will not long tolerate drugs that kill or officials who grow fat closing their eyes. And China’s standing as the world’s premier exporter of consumer goods will surely be challenged unless the world comes to believe that Beijing is serious about the quality, safety and integrity of its exports.

The rise and fall of Zheng offers a rare glimpse inside China’s flawed regulatory system. He started out as an idealistic reformer. Concerned about China’s unsafe drug supply, he lobbied for the creation of the State Food and Drug Administration. But in the end, according to friends and associates, he was corrupted by the very system he sought to change ” even enlisting his wife and son to solicit bribes.

“There were so many companies going to him and he simply couldn’t resist the temptation,” said one drug company executive who befriended Zheng in the 1980s and did not want to be identified discussing the delicate issue. [Full text]

China on Tuesday executed the former head of its food and drug watchdog who had become a symbol of the country’s wide-ranging problems on product safety.

Zheng Xiaoyu’s execution was confirmed by State Food and Drug Administration spokeswoman Yan Jianyang at a news conference held to highlight efforts to improve China’s track record on food and drug safety. [Full Text]

For the New York Times, Joseph Kahn writes: “…The country’s Supreme Court has recently made a highly publicized effort to show that it carefully reviews all death sentences and that it has restricted the power of local courts to impose that penalty.

But Mr. Zheng’s case appears to have served a political purpose, allowing senior leaders to show that they have begun confronting the country’s poor product safety record.” [Full Text]

In 1995, a Chinese drug maker was developing a version of clarithromycin, a popular antibiotic used mainly to treat respiratory infections. But to begin selling the medication, the company, Zhongxiang Kangshen Medicine Co. (‰∏≠ÊπòÂ∫∑Á•ûËç؉∏ö), needed approval from China’s drug regulator.

So Luo Yongqing, director of Zhongxiang’s research department, called his top employees to a meeting. According to Gao Chun, a research scientist who attended, Mr. Luo tossed a box of antibiotics made by Abbott Laboratories on the table and told the scientists to use the American drug maker’s pills in their application for approval from the country’s drug watchdog. Zhongxiang’s own drug wasn’t ready yet, Mr. Gao says, but the company didn’t think that should get in the way.

A short time later, Mr. Gao stopped working for Zhongxiang and launched a decade-long fight against the drug and against government regulators, whom he accuses of taking bribes from his former employer to look the other way. The company won approval for the drug and has been selling it ever since. [Full Text, for subscribers only]

The move is a major step in a wider government investigation into corruption in the country’s fast-growing pharmaceutical industry.
